"...“We’ve seen some behavior we haven’t seen in a few years … Waymo is frequently now blocking our fire stations from access,” added Chief Patrick Rabbitt, the head of the San Francisco Fire Department. “Their default is to freeze.” The situation can prevent firetrucks from responding to emergencies in a “timely and appropriate” way, he said...."

  3. "We don't need a traditional military to be doing that job, right? That's a coast guard job ... You could have an entirely different force doing that stuff ...

    I really enjoy watching these kinds of emergency response videos, whether they’re from the fire brigade, an ambulance or the police, and I’m always delighted to see German motorists making proper way for emergency vehicles with their blue lights on by forming that emergency corridor. 🤩

    It’s good to know that forming an emergency corridor is an essential part of driving test training in Germany. 😃

  16. In the upcoming year, I'm very excited to have the opportunity to talk about the use of AI in emergency response operations worldwide!
